It’s a warm April afternoon as
UNICEF colleagues gather together with their families to celebrate Pi Mai, the
Lao New Year. Once a year the UNICEF staff association organise the celebrations for staff and their families. It is an opportunity to look back on the achievements of the year and refresh and renew for the coming year’s child rights and development challenges. The day is one for both children and adults alike. There is a tangible air of excitement. Pi Mai is the biggest celebration
of the year in Lao PDR. It’s also a
spectacle of song and dance and getting very (very) wet.
